The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce a scholarship opportunity for Egyptian youth to participate in an exciting program that aims to enable aspiring entrepreneurs. After a successful first cohort, we are now accepting applications for a second workshop and kindly request that you share this opportunity with your contacts and networks.

The Entrepreneurial Leadership Discovery Program ( ELDP ) is a highly interactive training and enrichment program designed to support Egyptian youth under 26 years of age who have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and who want to start an innovative new business or social enterprise. This free program aims to build the confidence and professional skills of these youth to create a generation of entrepreneurs able to employ effective leadership practices. By the end of the program, participants will have acquired the skills to act on their ideas and to pitch their new ventures to potential partners and investors.

The program features team building activities, lectures by high impact entrepreneurs in Egypt , sessions on key entrepreneurial and leadership topics and skill sets, and participation in a group learning business simulation.

For your convenience I am attaching the 2012 Program Iteration as well as the application to this email. The deadline to apply is January 1st, 2012. Please feel free to write to ELDP@iie-egypt.org for any additional information or for any questions you may have.
